As I mentioned, "Remote Access" as of 9.x (9.0.4 is current) can act as a
PPP server, so you may want to see if there is a newer SDK, perhaps via
seeding.apple.com (are you an ADC member?).
There would still be the 'problem' that you have to associate the serial
connection via the 'modem' panel, and thus couldnt both get your IP
connection via modem and share it via cradle using this method (if it can
be made to work). Should work if you have an ethernet connection to the net
though.
